Four days in Venice

Venice is one of the most popular and wonderful tourist destination in the world. There are direct flights from most major airports into Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE).Many travelers visit Venice every year because of the many 'must-see' attractions. Venice is also a great place for a romantic holiday.

See three major sights in one square:

Standing in the middle of the magnificent piazza San Marco is an experience in itself: Napoleon referred to it as the ‘drawing room of Europe’, and today it appears, that many touristsare crammed into this great square. But it’s St Mark’s basilica (Basilica di San Marco), often seen as the living testimony of Venice’s links with Byzantium; Doge’s Palace, once Venice’s political and judicial hub; and Torre dell’Orologio, a clock tower built between 1496 and 1506, that are, not just the square’s, but some of the city’s main attractions.

Cross the Grand Canal, take a gondola ride, or the vaperetto waters bus, walk through the San Polo and Dorsoduoro neighborhoods,The beauty of the city lies in its narrow alleys, bridges, canals and its elegant architecture.And there are no cars in Venice.

Venice is also a cruise ship destination. Plan for three to fours days visit to Venice before or after your cruise.Video: Walking through Venice, Italy
